Specification. of Letters I atent Application inea mvember e, ieee. serial No. 527,056.

To all .whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK L Sa'rrnnr,

a citizen of the United States, residing at" Indianapolis, in the county of Marion nand State of indiana, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Coin-Packagers; of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide the hereinafter described improvements in details of construction of a coin packaging mechanism of the general type disclosed in my pending application Serial No. 462,238.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my` invention.

Arranged above table 20 in alinement vwith the perforation 21 is a delivery chute 23 through which the previously formed coin containers 23 may be intermittently axially delivered by means of a controlling star wheel 24 automatically operated. by mechanism which will lbe described later.- -Atrranged upon table 20 above perforation l22 is a coin guide 25 having vertical guide faces 26 se arated horizontally by a distance substantlally equal to the dia-meter of the coin to be' delivered to the perforation 22 fand having a vertical height -very slightlyTexhis guide plate is provided with a longitudinal slot 27 which entends through the major portion of its length so that any coin which may become stuck in'the guide maybe readily engaged by an instrument which will pass through said slot. At its delivery end the plate 25 is provided with a gradually curved downturned nger 28 against which a coin will be projected and compelled `to enter the perforation 22. Plate 25 is yieldingly held down by springs 25 so as to accommodate slightly thickened coins. Arranged in alinement with the receiving end of the guide'25 is a carrier 31- having guideways 32y in alinement -with the yguldeways 26V. The carrier 31 is also provided with -a vertical tubular stem 33 adapted to receive a coin holding tube 34 of any desired length said .tube ending, at its lower end,immediately above the guides 32 a distance from the upper surface of the platform 2O just a tritle Vgreater than the thickness of the coin to be carried within the tube. Arranged upon table 2O in horizontal alinement with the coin track formed by the guides 32 and 26 is anejecting plunger 35 adapted to be reciprocated horizontally so as to engage the bottom coin of a stack within tube 34 and project said coin horizontally between guides 32 and 26 into engagement with the linger 28 and thence into perforation 22 through which it will fall. It sometimes occurs that coins will stack in the coin tube ari/dpVV it is therefore desirable to be able to vreadily remove the same from the machine and/When that is done it is extremely desirable that Patenten May a, 191i.'

table 20 is perforated at 101 for the receptionof a crimper head which may be of the form shown in Fig. 11 or that shown in Fig. 16 or of any other desirable form. The especial details of construction of this crimper head vare not material except that 1t should be of such character as to be capable of engaging the upper end of a coin container and crimping the same inwardly as shownv in Fig. 14 or any other suitable manner, to retain the coins within the container. For this purpose it is desirable that the crimper head be provided with a crimping element 102 adapted to engage and crimp the edge or open end of the container. In the form shown in Figs. 1, 5 and 11, the crimper head is provided with a bevel gear 103 by means Vof which it may be rotated and this bevel gear meshes with a bevel gear ,l0-1 carried by a constantly rotating shaft ment 102, said crimper element being flanked' on the outside-by the outwardly flaring ring 107 and on the inside by the plug 108 which is formed integrally with shaft 106. The shaft 106 carries a key 109 which is splined in the keyway 110 of a spiral gear 111 which is Ajournaled in the perforation 101 of table i tooth portion of the gear 111.

20, said table being recessed at 101 at the upper end of perforation 101 to receive the The upper faceof gear 111 is adapted to receive a thrust bearing 112 which is engaged at its upper side by a plate 113 carried by a casing memberllt. The crimper shaft 106 is normally urged downwardly to its lowest position by means of a spring 115 which lies between ring 107 and gear 111 and thus rotates with said elements. Journaled in a suitable bracket 116 secured to the outer edge of table 20. is a shaft 117 carrying a spiral gear 118, adapted to mesh with the spiral gear 111, the bracket 116 having a Y portion 116 which forms a half casing for the-gear 118 and meets with a portion 114 of the casing 1141 to completely inclose the gear 118. The casing 114 is removably secured'in position by means 'of' screws 119 which enter the upper face of table 20, the arrangement being such'that, by removing the ,screwsV 119, the crimper headm'ay be quickly withdrawn, the gear 111 being easily withdrawable from the gear 118.

In order to rotate the packaging head l provide a finger-'121 arranged in a horizontal plane of plate 64e and adapted to engage 1n one ofthe fingers 611 whenever the said lingers are turned into the path of movement of the fingers. The finger 121 may be reciprocated by any suit-able means but the reciprocation should be fairly rapid and therefore I find it convenient to mount said finger upon a head l122 which is connected with the com ejecting plunger 35. The plunger 121 is mounted upon a vert-ical axis 123 and yieldingly urged in one direction by a spring 12-'1 against a stop 125.

' For the purpose of intermittently advancing the container feeder 24, the shaft of said feeder carries a bevel gear '126 which meshes .with a bevel gear 127 carried by a shaft 128 which, at its lower end carries a star wheel 129, the arms of which are projected into the path of movement of any one of a series of four pins 72 carried by plate 61 the arrangement being such that there will be a forward step of the feeder wheel 24 upon each forward step of the packager head.

In order to properly position the packager head in its step by step advancement I provide in block 67 a spring plunger 182 which fits lightly within the upper end of one of the tubes 65 after the completed package has dropped therefrom, said completed package passing downwardly through a suitable perforation 130 formed through plate 62 at a point diametrically opposite-the perforation 22 in table 20. It will be understood that the edge of the lower end of the plunger operates in the manner of an ordinary cupboard catch.

The operation is as follows: A supply of containers 23 is placed in the chute 28 delivering to the head 2i and these containers are intermittently fed downward so as to be delivered in a well known manner endwise through perforation 21 and into one of the tubes 65 of the packager head and this packager head is then advanced one-fourth of a turn by hand so as to bring the container 2251 beneath perforation 22 whereupon one of the pins 72 comes into engagement with star wheel 129 and causes another advancing .step of the head 24 so as to feed another container .23 down through perforation 21 to the next succeeding tube 65 of the packagcr head. The apparatus is now in condition for continued operation. it being assumed that the tube 34 is filled with a vertical stack of coins. A reciprocation of plunger extracts the bottoni coin from the coin stack and propels' the same through the passageway formed by the guides 32 and 26 and thc reciprocation of the plunger 35 is long enough to propel the coin clear to the perforation 22. the forward partof the coin engaging the finger 28 and thus given a slight inclination 'downward as it falls through said perforation 22 and into the container 23. As the coin' passes the star wheel 52 the counter 55 will be correspondingly actuated and 'the rotation of the star Wheel will cause'a rotation of pinion' 56 and a consequent forward movement of gear 69. This movement will continue until the arrival of the next to the last coin to be deposited into the. container and this next to the last coin will-cause such an advancement of the gear 69 as will bring pin 73 into engagement with pin 75 and thus project the spring finger 71- down' in the position shown in F ig; 3 immediately behind one of the pins 72 of plate 64. 'lVhen the last coin passes the star 'wheel 52 gear 69 will be driven another ,ger 121 so that the said nger, as it' moves forward at the time plunger is moving ,forward to project the rst coin ofthe next series, will engage plate 64 and move the same suddenly through ya quarter turn thus,

bringing' a new coin container into alinement below perforation 22 to receive the first com of the new series. T hisfforward movement of plate G-i and the packager head of #which it forms a part causes a quarter turn of shaft 63 and therefore causes a quarterl turn of the spiral pinion 95 which, acting upon pin 94 of gear 87, causes a slight advancement of that gear so asto bring finger 93 into the path of movement of finger 92 so that the gear 87 is further slightly advanced so as to bring its teeth into engagement with the teeth of pinion 89 and there"- by permit a complete rotation or nearly com-l plete rotation of gear 87 thus projecting the plunger'83 upwardly into engagement w-ith'the full container which, by the forwardadvancement of the packager'head has been brought above the plunger', so as to drive the yfull container upwardly. through its tube '65 andbring its open end into en-` gagement with the crimping element 102 of the crimper head. This crimper head is continuously rotating so that, as the package is f driven upwardly into engagement with the ciimper head the open end of :the container is crimped inwardly and downwardly as .shownin Fig. 14 so as to rotate the coins within the container. Sosoon as the crimper has produced the crimp theilled container moves downwardly by its own weight soas to again restuponv plate 62. The operation .from this point is repeatedrand as the packager .head is again advanced the filled and crimped container. will be driven around to the perforation through plate 62 which will permit the escape of the completed coin filled container.

It is important that Acoin :pack-v current with the failure of operation of the other so that the container which is being filled with coins cannot possibly be moved until the last coin of thev predetermined number. has been delivered to it and also such that whenever the final coin has been delivered to a package the previously filled package will be inevitably withdrawn from filling position and anew container brought to receiving position. For this pur- `pose the 'carriage 122 which carries the. plungers 121, is provided with upward projections131 which project up through and fit within slideways 132 (Fig 5) and to the upper end of each of these projections I secure one of the coin ejecting plungers 35 preferably by readily removablev thumb screws 133 (Fig. 18). Carriage 122 is then connectedby a pitman 134 with a crank 135 carried by a shaft 136 driven in any suitable manner as for instance by means of gears 137 and 138, the gear 138 being carried b v the shaft of the main drive wlieel 139 connected by a belt 1411 with a lsmall motor 1-12. By this arrangement plunger 121 cannot possibly engage the plate 6-1 of the packager head until it has been shifted by the last coin of any series and, just as soon as this slight movement takes place the plate 61 is in such position that if the coin ejecting` plunger ever can move forward through its ejecting movement the packager head will be advanced one step so as to bring a nen coin containerinto receiving -position to receive the rst coin of the next sei-ies.'

There are times when it may be desired to deliver a certain number of coins in bull:l to a drawer or.other container and for this 'purpose I arrange, immediately beneath the perforation 22 and beneath the packager Fig. 10)l which leads to a head, a slide 151 which normally closes an v :opening -152 ychute 153 through which the coins may pass 1.
